Orgasm
NARS Orgasm Air Matte BlushNARS Orgasm Air Matte Blush ($30.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a light-weight, hotter pink base with flecks of gold micro-sparkle all through. The components was horrible, on the whole, and it was even worse with the bigger bits of sparkle (the opposite shades within the vary didn’t appear to have noticeable sparkle) because it gave the bottom extra to seize onto and create bigger pill-like bits that needed to be crushed and mashed on the pores and skin to clean out even half-decently.
The feel was light-weight, whipped, and mousse-like with an airiness and velvety glide however not the traditional moistness of a cream blush. It turned powder-like when it got here into contact with pores and skin, nevertheless it had no actual time to diffuse or mix out because it simply form of caught to pores and skin and lifted up and away when one tried to mix or unfold it out. This occurred with fingertips, brushes, and sponges whether or not utilized over naked pores and skin or over prepped pores and skin (from basis to set basis). The “greatest” outcomes I had have been gently dabbed on with a fingertip on naked pores and skin and blended out with leftover basis (on a brush), nevertheless it was nonetheless uneven and splotchy.
It had sheer protection, nevertheless it wasn’t buildable as claimed. What little product transferred to my pores and skin appeared to fade visibly after six hours of wear and tear.

The components is meant to have a “smooth matte end” with “sheer, buildable protection” that’s “completely subtle” and “superbly blends and blurs for second-skin shade that lasts.” Per the model, the components may be utilized with fingertips or a brush, and I did not have good luck with fingertips in any respect. A brush was marginally higher, however I failed to attain even protection with any technique or software that I attempted.
The quantity of strain one wanted to get a clean software simply didn’t lend itself for precise cheek software; I may get considerably smoother, extra even protection on my arm, the place I may actually push and rub at my pores and skin, nevertheless it’s not sensible to do this to at least one’s cheek (which is much less of a flat floor), notably if one has any base merchandise on (welcome to Carry Metropolis!).
The feel of the blush felt ethereal and mousse-like, nevertheless it instantly pilled upon contact of my pores and skin, and I simply could not get it to clean out in follow. I attempted making use of the product to the again of my hand to attempt to heat it up, nevertheless it was fast to dry down and nonetheless fairly pilled, and by the point I transferred product to my pores and skin, there was virtually no protection out there. If I attempted to construct up protection, the preliminary layer simply pushed or lifted off my pores and skin, so every thing seemed worse the extra I fussed with it.
What little product translated (and as poor because it seemed on), it stayed there for six to seven hours earlier than fading. They delivered on the sheer protection, however they weren’t buildable, blendable, smoothing, blurring, or long-wearing.
